The veteran heavy metal band will have that record out on May 22nd via <strong>Metal Blade Records<\/strong>. Bassist\/vocalist <strong>Joey Vera<\/strong> oversaw the production for this new effort, while <strong>Jay Ruston<\/strong> (<strong>Stone Sour<\/strong>, <strong>Anthrax<\/strong>) was brought on to mix it. <strong>Vera<\/strong> said of the record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201cEach <strong>Armored Saint<\/strong> record, to me, is like a new skin for the band, a different chapter. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever repeated ourselves. Every album has been pretty different from the previous one, a snapshot in time. In 2026, \u2018<strong>Emotion Factory Reset<\/strong>\u2018 is where our heads are at.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Armored Saint - Close to the Bone (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QUyUzxd4Wuc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARMORED SAINT have announced \u201cEmotion Factory Reset\u201d as the title to their ninth studio album&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117572"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117573,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117572\/revisions\/117573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/117574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
